Norfolk & Suffolk branch conference: Emerging Risks; The Future of Fire Safety

From the Norfolk & Suffolk branch


Join us in Duxford for this paid, in-person event. This event will provide insightful discussion on how the fire sector is adapting to emerging risks driven by developing technologies, climate change, and the growth of renewable energy alternatives to fossil fuels. The conference is held in the airspace hanger at the airfield museum, allowing delegates to see some of the aircraft hosted within, including the Vulcan bomber and the Concorde.

Hear from many top-of-their-field experts, earn valuable CPD hours, and network with fire professionals at this inaugural conference event.
